Air Nomads, and The Awesomeness Of Jet
Watched Lake Laogai again today. Cried some more. I wish I could be one of the "Jet's not dead!" believers, but I trust Toph's truth-testing too much. I hope I'm wrong, because I always liked Jet's single-mindedness, and I looooove his eyebrows. *shrug* They have character?
Mind if I rant a bit, and see if it sounds at all interesting?
Have a few airbender OCs that have evolved in sketches, drabbles and one short comic. Plan on refining all of the above before posting any of it, 'cause... weeeell, most of it was drawn on the forms I use to tally the coffee used at work. Thing is, the air people are nomads, right? And they can't all have been monks. I'm going off the assumption that some air nomad groups, probably extended families and the like, were more like traveling merchants. Or like the classic "gypsy", who are always seen as natural storytellers, another thing in common with the air nomads.
Which is why I have Mi Lon living in the earth kingdom for most of her story. She does pass by the fire nation once, and the temples a few times, but I'm not sure of those bits yet. Mi Lon is a teenager when Sozen's comet passes, and living with her family (her sister Suu, their parents and grand-parents, a few cousins.) At the Northern Air Temple, I have two monks worked out, named Hieu and Mali. Mali was the single cutest eight-year-old ever. XD Um... but maybe I'm biased?
Hieu gets very involved in the war, and Mali follows him, although she doesn't believe in fighting, and her airbending skills are mediocre. She leaves her daughter, Pak Pao, with Mi Lon's family on their last visit to the temple.
I wanted this whole thing to be a happy story, but I was also super keen on airbenders, and those two really don't go all that well together. I don't know what happens to Mi Lon's family, but... Well, yeah. It can't be too happy. But someday, I'll have a happy story to draw! Maybe!
Also, Vietnamese and korean names make me happy. Muaha.
You'd think, working in a coffee shop and sampling the merchandise all day, I wouldn't be so tired when I get home. T___T I sleep now.
